Mom Corps Expands Opening a Franchise in Cincinnati

Offering flexible career alternatives during these turbulent economic times, Mom Corps has opened in Cincinnati

Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) November 18, 2009

As jobless rates soar across the country, Mom Corps, a premier staffing solution company, is expanding and opening a franchise in Cincinnati.

Eisha Armstrong is the new Regional Owner of Mom Corps Cincinnati. Armstrong says Mom Corps will provide Cincinnati area professionals more alternatives in finding flexible work opportunities and area companies the option of hiring “on-demand” talent to meet their changing business needs.

Mom Corps provides companies direct access to top-tier, experienced professionals, not typically found through other channels on a contract or permanent basis. In turn, Mom Corps provides professionals challenging work in their respective fields through flexible jobs that allow them to maintain life/work balance.

“Mom Corps serves a wonderful niche market previously untapped in the Cincinnati area,” said Armstrong. “Bringing this staffing model to my city was a natural fit for me as I am an experienced business leader, as well as a Mom, and I know how important flexibility is both for professionals and for companies.”

Prior to Mom Corps, Armstrong, who has an MBA from Harvard, worked for more than ten years advising senior executives at Fortune 500 companies. Most recently, she was a Managing Director with the Corporate Executive Board, managing the research and advisory practice for Chief Financial Officers.

"We are excited to take our business to the next level and continue growth through the development of our new franchise program in Cincinnati," says Mom Corps CEO and founder, Allison O'Kelly. "Franchising is a recruitment strategy to attract motivated, invested employees to Mom Corps."

The launch of Mom Corps' franchises is also timely considering the predicted increase in demand for temporary staffing services this year and in the future. "Uncertainty in the economy is making firms reluctant to hire permanent employees," said Robert T. Sumichrast, dean of the Terry College of Business at The University of Georgia. "That adds to the demand for temporary and part-time positions, and companies are increasingly relying on these staffing firms."

“Mom Corps is a progressive company. What we are doing today is going to become commonplace in the future, as companies work to attract and retain the best talent, while still keeping their cost structures in line with changes in revenue. I am proud to be involved in this cutting edge movement,” says Armstrong.

Mom Corps, founded in July 2005, provides professionals with tools and information to evaluate their career choices as they seek non-traditional employment. In just four years, Mom Corps' roster has grown to more than 35,000 candidates nationwide seeking flexible work schedules, and its client base has expanded to several hundred companies, including Fortune 500 firms. Despite current economic conditions, O'Kelly expects both to double in 2010 through regular business initiatives and the franchise arm.

In Armstrong’s previous advisory role with executives, she counseled them on efficiency, organizational structure, and leadership development. She has extensive experience managing and growing multi-million dollar businesses and leading global teams of professionals. She led numerous research initiatives and is the co-author of more than 20 major research publications. She has also been cited in numerous publications including The Financial Times, The Washington Post, TheStreet.com, and MarketWatch. Armstrong earned her MBA at the Harvard Business School and her Bachelor of Arts in both Economics and Women’s Studies at the University of Kansas. Eisha and her husband, Tim, live in Cincinnati with their two young sons.
